One key timing is the Abhijit Muhurat, considered an auspicious period for beginning new tasks. Many people avoid starting important work outside this window.
Another timing listed is Rahukaal, seen as an inauspicious period. People often avoid starting new ventures, travel, or ceremonies during this time.
The Panchang also includes information such as tithi (lunar day) and nakshatra (star position), which help people choose good times for events.
